i had heard that some dw abilities are fine to use here, as long as they're released. is that true or no?

Hidden Abilities are allowed as long as they are released; however, pokemon with hidden abilities that are not released (ie. Shadow Tag Chandelure) is not permitted unless the brain's tier is DW tier, which currently, none of my brains are.
